cottage industry of Rajasthan. Being a desert land, Rajasthan is
deprived of grown agriculture and tourism has been the main source of

wants to make this rustic art famous on a global level. Through this
fair, the local artists get a stage to show their creations not just in
front of domestic but the international tourists as well.

dancers will entertain you with their respective arts. Shilpgram Crafts
Mela is certainly a sincere effort to give recognition to the local arts
of remote villages of Rajasthan. Your visit to this fair would
